Musk’s playbook to be tested April 1st in Wisconsin — democracy since Citizens United.
Musk believes he can fund any candidate to victory in any race. We will see whether or not he is successful.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court election is somewhat of a referendum on Musk.
Money isn’t everything. See November 2024. Kamala had more campaign money, and lost.
But, I stand firmly with Bernie regarding the need for Congress to eliminate PAC $$ from politics. Campaign donations from individuals/households should be capped at $7500. That’s enough.

Today is the day the Lord has made. Enjoy it. Trump will be there tomorrow.

Hey GOAT: which man reflects your Catholic values?
Elon Musk:...“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy,”...these words need to be
spread far and wide...in every Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddist place of worship...since every religion preaches Empathy toward those less fortunate and will reject Musk's credo.
Sadly, Donald J. Trump...being a Malignant Narcissist...exhibits the very same lack of Empathy for others...and both of them demonstrate that fact in their every day deeds.
The United States of America has always been a Beacon of Empathy...see our Statue of Liberty and the inscription on it...see the USA lead the reconstruction of Europe and Japan after the horrors of WWII...and I submit that "Empathy" is the reason why we became the greatest nation/people on the planet.
So, it is clear that the 'Ethos' of Trump and Musk is leading America toward Ruin...not Greatness.
Yes, Elon believes in carefully rationed empathy, and he’s the final arbitrator of it.

Well, your lies continue.

The more you say such things...and provide zero proof...the more it becomes YOU who is doing the
lying...my challenge will never go away...step up, Jake...and anyone else.
See below. You knew you were posting a hoax.

Maybe you can explain "Weaponized Empathy"...Elon didn't bother to explain it either. While you're
at it...show us how firing people who are critical to our nation's security...and who have no performance issues...and then needing to hire them back...is an example of being 'Empathetic'.
You're accusing me of lying...show us proof...or accept that it's you spreading lies.
This should be entertaining, at the very least.
Caught in a lie and switched the topic. Nice try.

Switch topics??...aren't we talking about 'Empathy'?...aren't you going to explain to us what
"Weaponized Empathy" means?...Elon is a nut case...there is no such thing...and someone who fires thousands of people for no good reason...and then has to hire them back.. is not overflowing with what everyone else comprehends as "Empathy"...and if anyone's lying about that quality...it's Elon himself...as demonstrated by his Actions...
You make very poor decisions...think more, and don't get so angry when you're posting...it doesn't help.
You know what you tried to do.
You pretended or were fooled into thinking he said something he didn't. Now you're twisting the discussion towards how "mean" you think he is to dodge your embarrassment over being wrong again.
I came across several articles that describe Elon as an extreme Narcissist...note that people with
that Personality Disorder lack any "Empathy"...it's a hallmark of the condition...but the linked article by Robert Reich (thought you'd like that ;-))...wraps it up quite well...and btw, nothing has changed...except for the recent DOGE debacles that help to solidify the judgement.
Having the Top Two people in control of this country totally lacking in Empathy is a recipe for disaster...when such "Public Service" roles call for a maximum amount of understanding, concern and Empathy for ALL the citizens of this country.
Why can't you see this problem?

Give us an example of "Weaponized Empathy"...if you support Elon Musk, then you must know what it is
and can describe it well...I, for one, am waiting with bated breath...don't know what's keeping you, Jake.
More proof of Elon never having any Empathy...whatsoever...
...check out the linked article from 2018...this deficiency isn't a recent thing. He even uses people as guinea pigs...knows it's going to cost many their lives, but then shields himself from blame...does that sound like an "Empathetic" person to you?
Bottom Line...I'm right and you're wrong about Elon.

The new fine people hoax.
Musk: There's a guy who posts on X who's great, Gad Saad?
Rogan: Yeah, he's a friend of mine. He's been on the podcast a bunch of times.
Musk: Yeah, he's awesome, and he talks about, you know, basically suicidal empathy. Like, there's so much empathy that you actually suicide yourself. So, we've got civilizational suicidal empathy going on. And it's like, I believe in empathy, like, I think you should care about other people, but you need to have empathy for, for civilization as a whole, and not commit to a civilizational suicide.
Rogan: Also don't let someone use your empathy against you so they can completely control your state and then do an insanely bad job of managing it and never get removed.
Musk: The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They're exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response. So, I think, you know, empathy is good, but you need to think it through and not just be programmed like a robot.
Rogan: Right, understand when empathy has been actually used as a tool.
Musk: Yes, like, it's weaponized empathy is the issue.
Thanks for that...did you hear any examples of what he's talking about that would justify his
claim?...Conversely, take a look at his Deeds...and how he easily shatters people's lives with no justification whatsoever in all those mass firings...when the more Empathetic...Efficient and Effective path has already been demonstrated by a 99-1 Senate approval of Clinton's bipartisan reduction in government spending...plus a tax increase on corps and the wealthy leading to a budget Surplus and reduction in our National Debt.
He and Trump are warped and twisted men who share a Personality Disorder (Malignant Narcissism) that exhibits a total lack of Empathy...which, of course, is the Antithesis of what a "Public Servant" (e.g. President or Government Leader) should be. We need to see them exiting government...the sooner the better. Be sure to let your Representative and Senators know this.
Let's call this Charade for what it is...a planned Plutocratic Takeover of our American Democracy.
